Toast message
Again, I want to say that teaching your kids practical skills is not the problem (my mom taught me how to use a sewing machine when I was young), the problem is that when these girls grow up, the type of man they want isn't going to want to marry the female version of a man.
Imagine if a girl went on a first date with a guy and he came to the table with "when I was growing up, my mom taught me all the skills I need to be a housewife"? (there's a better than 99% chance there won't be a second date) I think there is a disproportionate interest among among conservatives when it comes to girls doing things that are considered "traditionally masculine".
However, I don't want to come off as a schizoid with my ramblings so I'll just say this is a wholesome video and I think it's great that dad gets to spend time with his daughters doing a brake job.
same for men, should a husband and his kids eat only pre-processed crap for a few weeks if his wife falls sick with the flu and can't cook for them?
not saying you're saying anything else, just discussing further.
> "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
- Robert A. Heinlein
By all means, teach girls how to change tires and teach boys how to cook for their family.
My specific criticism is that girls doing "boy things" is overly glorified by conservatives. Also, with regards to that quote, it's NOT a "human being should" situation because if a man and a woman can do all those things equally well, then there is no point for them to get together. It's the outworking of the delusional fantasy that every child that is born is a blank slate (which is what feminism has used to undermine society).
